A card is drawn at random from a standard 52-card deck. What is the probability that it is an odd number (3,5,7,9) or a spade (or both)?

Answer:

The probability of selecting the given event = [tex]\frac{25}{52}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A card is drawn at random from a standard 52-card deck.

We have to find the probability of selecting an odd numbered card(3,5,7,9) or spade or both.For this we have to find the number of favourable cases.

Favorable cases = 13 (all the spades) + 12(4 odd numbered cards from each of the remaining 3 )

                         = 25

Final probability = [tex]\frac{number of favourable cases}{total number of cases}[/tex]

                             = [tex]\frac{25}{52}[/tex]

Hence the probability = [tex]\frac{25}{52}[/tex]
